Okoy
Okoy is a delicious Filipino dish made from deep-fried fritters. It typically consists of slices of shrimp or vegetables mixed with batter made from glutinous rice flour, eggs, and various seasonings. The mixture is then deep-fried to perfection, resulting in a crispy and flavorful treat. It's commonly enjoyed as a snack or appetizer, and it pairs perfectly with a dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimps small, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Gradually add water to the dry mixture and mix until you achieve a smooth batter-like consistency.
- Add the beaten egg, minced garlic, and chopped onion to the batter. Mix well.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimps to the batter and gently toss until they are well coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Spoon a portion of the batter with shrimps into the hot oil, forming fritters with a diameter of about 2 to 3 inches. Fry them in batches.
- Fry the Okoy until they turn golden brown and crispy on each side. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once fried, transfer the Okoy to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a separate small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce (vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped shallot, sugar, and chili flakes if desired).
- Serve the Okoy while hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
